Steel Props Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question about our Steel Props Installation Service?
These FAQs may reveal your answer....


  • What are adjustable steel props, or Acrow props?

    Acrow Props are versatile, adjustable steel supports that shore up structures during construction. They're the backbone of safety, ensuring structures remain stable during various building phases.


    Other names for Acrow props include: 

    • Shoring props
    • Telescopic props
    • Support props
    • Heavy duty props
    • Scaffolding props
  • Who invented Acrow props?

    In the past, timber props were commonly used in construction, cut to fit each project's unique needs. However, in the early 20th century, Swiss-born William de Vigier, residing in London since 1935, introduced a groundbreaking innovation. He invented the first adjustable steel prop, naming it the "Acrow Prop" in honour of his solicitor, Mr. A. Crow. Unlike timber props, the Acrow Prop was versatile and reusable, revolutionising construction practices by providing a more efficient and consistent support solution for various projects.

  • How do Acrow props work?

    Acrow props are adjustable steel shoring posts to support loads during construction or repair work. They are typically used to support floors, ceilings, and walls. Acrow props have two main components: inner and outer tubes. The inner tube is threaded, and the outer tube has a hole that the inner tube fits through. The inner tube is raised and lowered by turning a screw handle at the top of the prop.


    Acrow props are first placed in position, and the height is adjusted to support the load. The props are then secured in place using wedges or base plates. Acrow props can be used individually or in groups to support heavier loads.


    Acrow props work by transferring the weight of the load to the ground, distributing the weight evenly. They can support a wide range of weights. Acrow props are also adjustable, which makes them versatile and easy to use.


    Here are some examples of Acrow prop use:

    • To support a floor while it is being poured
    • To keep a wall while it is being built
    • To save a ceiling while it is being repaired
    • To save a load-bearing wall while a doorway is being cut through it
    • To support heavy machinery or equipment

  • What is the purpose of a steel prop?

    Greenway Adjustable Steel Props are versatile support products that can be used in a variety of applications, including:

    • Scaffolding
    • Creating holes in walls
    • Removing walls
    • Falsework support
    • Raking shores
    • Temporary support for repairs, lintels, beams, and canopies
    • Providing the vertical strength and base for additional support products

    Greenway Acrow steel props are compatible with other support products, making them cost-effective and time-efficient to install and adapt. They are also relatively lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for quick installation by one person.


  • Should I buy or hire props - Which option is best?

    The choice between buying and hiring depends on your project's needs:

    • Buying: Ideal for long-term or recurring projects. You own the props for future use.
    • Hiring: Perfect for short-term projects, reducing upfront costs and storage needs.
    • Best of Both - Installation Service: The best choice for short and long-term projects. You have the option to buy or hire, and Greenway will survey your site, choose the proper props for the job and install them all for the same price as a hire service! 

Why Choose Greenway Adjustable Steel Props Installation Service?
